What are fun St Nicholas activities for adults at work?

The best St Nicholas activities for adults at work are interactive group activities in which everyone participates, such as a St Nicholas quiz, a St Nicholas-themed bingo show, or a creative game show. It is all about colleagues laughing together, competing a little and feeling the spirit of the season — without it feeling childish. Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about organising a St Nicholas party for staff.

Which Sinterklaas activities are suitable for a large team?

For large teams, activities are most suitable where everyone takes part at the same time and no one is left on the sidelines. An interactive Sinterklaas quiz or a bingo show are ideally suited for groups ranging from smaller teams to large corporate events with hundreds or even thousands of participants. Depending on the concept and group size, we use our own interactive technology, such as keypads or participation via smartphone. This ensures that everyone stays involved, even with larger groups.

With large groups, structure is essential. Activities that involve forming teams foster connection between colleagues who may know each other less well. A St Nicholas-themed quiz show works brilliantly: round after round, questions are asked about St Nicholas, Dutch traditions, music and general knowledge, while the tension on the scoreboard mounts.

Quizzzit provides interactive on-site quiz shows for groups of approximately 20 to 5,000 participants. The quiz is fully catered for, including quizmaster, software and equipment, so as the organiser you don't have to worry about a thing. That complete peace of mind is precisely what large teams need: one professional partner who arranges everything.

How to choose a fun Sinterklaas activity for work?

Not every activity is suitable for every group. Ask yourself the following questions before making a choice:

• Would you prefer to have a laugh and relax, or to work together in a more substantive way?
• Must everyone be able to participate at the same time?
• Is the group mixed in age, language, or function?
• Is an activity at the table better than something active?
• How much time is there: 45 minutes, 1.5 hours or a full programme?
• Should the activity be linked to a company party, dinner, drinks reception or team day?
• Is customisation required, such as your own questions, themes or corporate identity?

How do you organise a Sinterklaas celebration at work without hassle?

The easiest way to organise a Sinterklaas celebration at work is by hiring a single external partner to take care of the programme completely. This way you avoid having to think up quiz questions yourself, arrange technical equipment or look for a presenter. A professional entertainment partner takes care of everything from A to Z, from setup to teardown.

In concrete terms, this means: choose an activity that suits the group size and the location, give the partner your preferences and any personal questions or company-specific content, and leave the rest to them. At Quizzzit, the professional quizmasters Present from an hour and a half before the start for setup, with no extra costs for waiting times or travel expenses. This way, everything will be ready as the first colleague walks in.

Would you like extra customisation? That’s possible free of charge: supply your own questions about the company or the team, a welcome screen in corporate colours, or a video message from management as a surprise element. This way, the Sinterklaas celebration truly feels like something from your own organisation.

What makes a Sinterklaas quiz fun for adults?

A Sinterklaas quiz is fun for adults because it combines the nostalgia of the Sinterklaas celebration with genuine competition, humour and group interaction. Adults love a challenge, and a well-put-together quiz with music rounds, video clips and funny questions about the team ensures plenty of laughter and interaction — from the quiet colleague to the extroverted team leader.

The key lies in variation. A good St Nicholas quiz for work includes:

• Classic Sinterklaas and Black Pete questions with an adult twist
• Music rounds featuring well-known St Nicholas and winter songs
• Company-specific questions about your own team or organisation
• Visual rounds with images or videos on a large screen
• Mini-games or speed rounds for extra excitement

Depending on the concept and group size, we use our own interactive technology, such as keypads or participation via smartphone. Keypads are our own technology, available in quantities of up to 2,000 and reliable even with weak Wi-Fi. This keeps the pace high, ensures high engagement and feels professional for a corporate audience.

Can a Sinterklaas activity also be online or hybrid?

Yes, a Sinterklaas activity for work can be organised entirely online or in a hybrid format. For teams where part of the staff are in the office and part work from home, or for organisations with employees spread across multiple locations, an online quiz show is an excellent solution. Everyone takes part via their browser, with no technical barriers.

A hybrid Sinterklaas celebration combines the best of both worlds: colleagues on location play together in teams, while remote workers join in individually or in small groups via their laptop. The quizmaster connects both groups via a professional livestream, ensuring that the energy and fun are equal for everyone.

Quizzzit also offers interactive bingo shows which are exceptionally well suited to a St Nicholas theme. Bingo is easy for everyone to understand and works just as well online as it does on location. For international teams, Quizzzit provides the programme in 4 languages: Dutch, German, English and French, so that no colleague is left out.

How much does a Sinterklaas activity for work cost?

The costs of a St Nicholas activity for work depend on the group size, the location and the type of programme. For a professional, on-location interactive quiz show, you should expect a price per person or a fixed package price, with travel costs and waiting times at Quizzzit included as standard. There are no hidden costs afterwards.

A few factors that determine the price:

• Group size larger groups often have an economy of scale per person
• Programme duration: a one-hour quiz is different from a full evening programme
• Customisation: supplying your own questions and incorporating your brand identity are included for free with Quizzzit
• Online or on-site: Online variants are usually slightly cheaper because there are no travel expenses

When should you book a Sinterklaas activity for work?

For a Sinterklaas activity at work, it is best to book as early as possible, preferably in September or October. The period around Sinterklaas — from mid-November to early December — is one of the busiest times for corporate activities. Popular dates and venues are booked up quickly, especially if you have a large group or specific requirements.

In 2026, Sinterklaas falls on Saturday 5 December, which means that Friday 4 December and the week leading up to it are the most popular times for company parties. Those who book in September will have the greatest choice of venues, dates and programme structures.

Quizzzit has more than 250 venues across the Netherlands and Belgium and rarely turns down a request, but they too work on a basis of availability.
